In order to make progress towards the goal of ending homelessness, it is imperative that we invest in interventions that are both effective and cost-effective. Because HUD McKinney-Vento funds are largely tied up in renewals of existing projects, CoCs must be reviewing their portfolio of existing projects on an annual basis to determine if those projects are effectively meeting needs within the community. During the annual CoC competition, HUD allows continuums in Hold Harmless Need status to reallocate funds from existing Supportive Housing Program renewal projects to create new permanent housing projects. On Thursday, September 22 at 2:00 pm ET, join USICH and the National Alliance to End Homelessness to hear more about this important topic.

The National Human Services Data Consortium (NHSDC) is a collaborative organization that understands the importance of data quality and the value of using valid and reliable data for community planning and performance measurement.

Some of the confirmed conference sessions include
* From Intake to Education: Models of Data Reporting that Support Community Change
* Integrating Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) into your CoC Planning Process - Going Beyond Integrated Outcomes
* Outcome and Performance Measurement
* Panel discussion on the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)
* Successful Statewide HPRP collaboration
* Using Data to Plan for the Amended Emergency Solutions Grants Program
* VA HMIS Integration
As in past years, the NHSDC conference and Institute are a HUD approved conference.

SHP funds included in the Training and Technical Assistance line of the HMIS budget may be used for costs associated with attendance at training sessions that are qualified- and pre-approved- by HUD Headquarters, such as this NHSDC conference. Projects without funds designated for HMIS do not have an HMIS budget, and, therefore, are not eligible to use supportive service funds to attend this event.

Securing services funding is essential to sustaining supportive housing programs. Short term federal or local grants and targeted state funding can be unpredictable and subject to government budget reduction policies. Louisiana can serve as a model for how to think of the services in supportive housing broadly and align state systems to efficiently provide resources, even in tough budget times. Louisiana’s 3,000 unit Permanent Supportive Housing Program, initially created as part of the state’s Road Home hurricane recovery plan, is one of the nation’s first cross-disability, integrated permanent supportive housing (PSH) initiatives. To date the program has housed over 2,300 of the most vulnerable people with disabilities across Louisiana’s Gulf Coast region. On this webinar, participants will learn more about Louisiana’s PSH initiative and the Medicaid policy changes the federal government approved to make it happen.

USICH is hosting a session on community involvement in ending homelessness at the biennial United Way convening in Nashville
Session Title:
Community Engagement Strategies to End Homelessness
Session Description:
Local United Ways can achieve tremendous community impact by engaging and convening community leaders to advance the effort to end homelessness. Too often homelessness is viewed as an intractable community problem, but communities across the country are actually making progress in reducing homelessness by adopting best practices and driving collective impact agendas. United Ways are increasingly leading systems change, policy dialogues and advancing innovative grantmaking as they mobilize the community to solve critical problems, including homelessness.
Participants in this session identifed unique opportunities:
Convening key stakeholders to develop a community plan to end homelessness with measurable goals and targets, aligned resources, and actionable strategies.
Implementing a public awareness campaign to increase the community’s understanding that the face of homelessness includes children, youth, and families and that cost effective solutions to homelessness are possible.
Serving as the fiscal agent for the local Continum of Care to improve access to federal, state, and local resources.
Creating a collaborative of funders that are aligning resources to create a pipeline of permanent supportive housing to support efforts to end chronic homelessness.
Coordinating local efforts to distribute emergency financial assistance to help families and individuals avoid or exit homelessness.
Re-tooling the local distribution of the Emergency Food and Shelter Program to adopt best practices for homelessness prevention and rapid re-housing.
Participants will receive a toolkit that summarizes the roles that United Ways have played in a community impact model of ending homelessness, and links to successful cross-sector plans to end homelessness, to include cross-sector roles, metrics, and benchmarks. After the session the toolkit will be available on our website.

This phenomenon, known as secondary trauma or compassion fatigue, can have a significant impact on quality of life both at work and beyond. In this webinar, participants will learn how to recognize the warning signs of secondary trauma and discuss ways to prevent burnout. Tips and tools for addressing the self-care needs of both individuals and organizations will be covered.

In addition, representatives from three HUD-VASH sites will discuss how they have effectively partnered with CoCs and homeless service providers in order to better serve the most vulnerable Veterans and to ultimately end Veteran homelessness in their communities.

As part of the requirements for receiving federal funding to address homelessness, every community receiving HUD funding must conduct a bi-annual “point -in- time” count of persons experiencing homelessness. For the first time as part of the new Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act guidelines, unaccompanied youth will be counted in the Point in Time count in every community across the country.
For youth providers and advocates, this is a great opportunity to improve knowledge on the size and nature of youth homelessness and to help us to increase our ability to advocate for the youth we serve. Accurate data about the number of youth experiencing homelessness can become a strong argument for an increased investment at the national, state, and local levels. However, to obtain sound data Continuum of Care(CoC) bodies and youth providers must partner together in this effort.
The National Network for Youth, the John Burton Foundation for Children without Homes, the D.C. Alliance of Youth Advocates, and the National Alliance to End Homelessness have joined in partnership to host a webinar to highlight three communities that have successfully performed targeted youth counts. The webinar will inform youth providers, advocates, and allies about how to partner with CoC bodies to ensure a successful count as well as provide concrete strategies for CoCs regarding promising practices, methodologies, and lessons learned, and how to incorporate these strategies into the youth inclusive point-in-time counts, as well as effective strategies for counting youth in rural communities.
The featured communities include: San Jose, Southern Nevada, and D.C.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make sure that youth experiencing homelessness in your community are effectively counted!
